 James Hamilton (from the Indiana Register)
 22 Oct 1869

"Another old citizen gone.  Mr. James Hamilton of White Township 
died last saturday eve aged 82 years and nine months and five days.  
He was a most worthy and esteemed citizen.  For many years he took 
considerable interest in public affairs and especially in everything 
that tended to the overthrow of slavery in our country.  He was one 
of the pioneers of Abolition in the county, having in 1844 with twelve 
others voted for Mr. Birney upon and Abolition platform.  He lived to 
see slavery abolished by bloodshed and war.  His life was exemplary and 
most just" His was the first 32nd Degree Maonic funeral. (copied from
